And are you mainly looking for beer?

#14

Aye, beer is my only responsibility (someone else is doing wine and the CEO is best mates with tonnes of whiskey people).

#15

I reckon the guys at Freshfields Market in Croydon would be worth an ask.

They give a 10% discount on all bottles and cask beers anyway if you’ve got a Camra card or you get six bottles and they are friendly and approachable. They’re carry outs from Sanderstead are ridiculously cheap too.

They run the Croydon craft beer fesitival.

I’m pretty sure you’d be able to strike a deal with them. They have their own beer delivery club too.

I was trying to turn this into a parody of My Girls by Animal Collective but I couldn’t really get it to scan.

#17

Quick trip to Calais and fill up the car with booze?

#18

I am license holder but I think a place also has to be licensed if you are selling alcohol.
To buy wholesale I thought it had something to do with providing the businesses VAT no.?

#19

I/We wouldn’t be selling.

I’ve just looked on some of the big beer websites like Eebria and Beer Merchants, it seems like their trade sales are only open to licensed businesses.

#20

It does seem strange you cant buy large orders direct from the brewer.
Have you tried it with wine might be easier to go direct to a vineyard or something like that?

#21

you only need a licence to sell. they prob only sell to people with a licence for Reasons

#22

God damn reasons! When will they take a hike!

#23

Well I know one (very small) brewery who’ll do be a deal, but I kind of know him anyway. The others I’ve emailed are bigger, but don’t seem interested as of yet. I guess they have really big contracts to deal with so shifting a few dozen cases isn’t that interesting to them, but come on already, shut up and take my money!

#24

All this shit for 10% off (of your company’s money!). Just get a load of Bon Castel in from Tezzas if they are being tight.

#25

I have a reputation to maintain as a fancy beer guy. And if I can swing a sweet deal, all the better.

#26

I’ve got about 30 pints of a failed homebrew that tastes like shit, if you’re interested. No money required, just looking for someone to take it off my hands.

#27

No deal.

#28

If it’s free and on private premises then no, I don’t think there is anything required for that.

#29

surely any alcohol licence is for selling booze, not buying or owning it.

#30

The government page says if you sell or “supply” alcohol, which made me wonder, but no, I don’t think it would apply. Just wondering how I could access the sweet, sweet trade account deals without it.

#31

It doesn’t apply.

Are you not mates with anyone at your regular shop. Just ask them to buy an x cases for you and say you’ll pay him cost price + 10% for them.

#32

oh its THAT kind of party is it?
